Dennis Rodman‘s former business manager was busted for allegedly defrauding several pro athletes out of millions of dollars.
According to the Houston prosecutor’s office … Peggy Ann “King” Fulford was taken into custody Friday in New Orleans and charged with 8 criminal counts, including wire fraud, mail fraud, interstate transportation of stolen property and money laundering.
Former NFL star Ricky Williams and 3 other pro athletes are the victims.
Rodman’s name is not on the list, but we broke the story — the Worm’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, fired Peggy, accusing her of being a total fraud. Clearly, he’s no longer alone in that boat.
Peggy’s scheme allegedly included 7 aliases and falsely telling victims she was a Harvard-educated financial adviser. Prosecutors say she used the athletes’ money to splurge on herself.
If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison.
